I hope this is the right section.

The ppcwarez.info site is great when the normal server is down, and the instructions there for Windows users are great too. But for those of us who use Macs there is nothing to help. There is no instruction how to set up IRC in a Mac, and to access the site after changing my host files I had to search high and low on the net to find a page with what to do.

Perhaps someone cluey could add info for those of us Mac users who aren't too technical in these matters.

Not complaining - suggesting!

Just Google for Mac hosts: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=88158 for instance

I found that site earlier, but it doesn't tell what to do if you're using MacOS 10.5 - Leopard. Leopard doesn't have Netinfo, so the instructions there don't work.

This is the site that I found, although I of course had to change to ppcwarez:

Code: Select allhttp://foundationphp.com/tutorials/vhosts_leopard.php

Googled for Leopard and hosts file:

Try that

Domain/DNS problems seem to be fixed.

Thanks LZF. The sites you sent me to look a bit to technical for me, but I'm sure they'll be useful for others.

One other question. Now that sdawson tells us that the DNS problem has been fixed, do I need to do anything, or can I leave the hosts file the way it is after changing it? Seems to be working fine now even though I haven't changed it back.

Now that everythings fixed, you dont have to do anything.
But it might still be wise to read up on that info; just incase.

Thanks all for all your help.
